Important note for 17 Tammuz (and other Fast days): If you are not fasting (for health reasons), you still have an obligation to mourn the destruction of the Beit HaMikdash. The Fast day is not "business as usual" even if you eat. It is a day that calls for introspection and serious thought, not just of the tragedies of Jewish History, but of "where to from here". 11:00am The Last 60 Years of the Beit HaMikdash - Midrash and Agada Dr. Hayim Abramson various times MINI-Shiur/Divrei Torah while you fold SHIV'A ASAR B'TAMMUZ - Thursday, July 9th, from 5:15pm How does a pile of rocks on a hilltop capture the world's interest? How does an old pot shake up 100 years of scholarship about civilization? How can we transfer words of Torah onto the landscape and gain an understanding of each? The Elah Fortress was unidentified as a 3000 year-old biblical city until an archaeologist with a keen eye came along and found burnt olive pits and a message written on pottery near the city gate. It would be hard to imagine more discoveries per square inch than in any dig of the last 50 years; it brings new understanding to Tanach. The first part will be a unique presentation at the Israel Center, with Foundation Stone co-directors David Willner, MA Ed. and Rabbi Barnea Levi Selavan, who will provide the background for understanding this exciting site. With images and media we will explore the Torah, archaeology, and hi-tech being applied to deepen our knowledge of the 10th century before the common era. The second part, will be with Rabbi Asher Altshul, archaeologist, educator, and expert guide, who will speak about a new conceptual tour (see page 30) that will include a visit to the excavation. The presentation at the Israel Center is independent of the tour, but it will greatly enhance the field experience. 5:15pm Lectures, as described above 6:55pm Slow-paced MINCHA for the Fast day followed by a review of the practices of the Three Weeks 8:10pm MAARIV (the fast ends at 8:18pm) and Fast-Breaking Refreshments and a chance to shmooze with Foundation Stone staff about their lectures, their upcoming tiyulim, the exciting project - For more information see www.elahfortress.com Friday 18 Tammuz / July 10th 9:00am Rabbi Chaim Eisen: "What Authority Does Aggadah Have?
